able to be present at this anniversary,
but their son Horace and his wife
were untiring in their efforts to make
the day a worthy memorial of the i'm
portant occurrence of half a century
ago. The supper was bountiful and
tasteful, including a wedding cake
from Boston. This was a variation
from the first wedding supper. The
presents were numerous, and though
they were not all gold, yet all were
golden, for they had been carefully
selected for their comfort and pleas
ure, and were the gifts OF loving
friends. A few remarks were made
by their pastor, Rev. w. H. Hyde,
congratulating them upon successfully
gaining this rare milestone in the
journal of life. An appropriate por-
ton of scripture was read and prayer
offered. From this standpoint may
they catch frequent glimpses of the
golden shore to brighten the remain
der of the journey, and that they may
find their Inheritance at last in the
Golden City, is the wish of their many
friends.

HORSE NOTES.
Wards Lambert, owned by G.. R.
Page, is producing very choice stock
and is doing large business.
Four fine colts, sired by Ben Frank
lin, came to Utton Bros. yesterday for
training.
The two-years-old colt, by Arestos,
recently purchased by Gov. Hendee,
is in the hands of J. M. Campbell, he
having bought a half interest in him.
All first class breeders and writer's
now agree that it is wise to breed only
to large horses, with good style and
open, easy action. If the produce do
not trot they make valuable horses for
carriage and other purposes, and
bring good prices. Small horses rare
ly sell except for small prices, unless
possessed of speed.
